Eugene Harden and Samuel Graves,who were walking within a few feet of the boiler escaped injury. Samuel Sweigart and family of Ridgeville, who spent Sunday In the city as the guests of Irvin Brandyberry and family, returned to their heme yesterday afternoon.

The Decatur public schools are pro- J greasing nicely, and a good attendance is noted each day. A great interest . is manifest among the pupils and teachers. D. L. Quinn left over the Clover Las for Indianapolis, where he will spend several days looking after the j trade established there for the Cop- I peck Motor Co. The condition of Mrs. J. E. Moser is ' practically unchanged. She is dis- ‘ playing wonderful vitality and that' she has lived this long is a fact that j baffles the physicians. A. A. Butler, the newly appointed ; marshal, will assume his duties to- ; morrow morning, and without doubt j he will discharge the duties of the 1 office in a very creditable manner. J. L. Love? the assessor of Wa-1 bash township, was looking after business here today. He will begin the work of assessing the personal property of his township on the first day j of March. The farmers contend that the present weather conditions are conducive to a crop of good wheat, unless a radical change is noted and the snow ' leaves. Let us hope that the wheat I turns out good. While sweeping snow from her sidewalk Saturday, Mrs. Mary Hill, a widow at Bluffton, was overcome by the exertion and fell to the sidewalk from an attack of apoplexy. It is believed she will recover. The box social given at the C. B. L. of I. hall last night was a success both financially and socially. A large number of people gathered at the hall and for several hours enjoyed themselves to the limit.

While watching her mother baking cakes for breakfast, Lenore Robinson, 6 years old, daughter of Seymour Robinson, of Bluffton, fell forward upon the stove. Her hands were flat upon the heated surface and were frightfully burned. County Assessor Gentls is getting the mortgage enumerated and the other affairs of his office in shape for the meeting of the township assessors which will be held on the last day of this month. They will begin their work on the following Monday and will have sixty days to do the work. Ed Luttman, who recently purchased the Case store at Magley, and will teke possession on the first day of March, will have a big sale of all his farm machinery, stock, grain, and personal property on Thursday, February 18. It will be one of the best sales ever held in Root township, as Mr. Luttman has always been an excellent farmer and has surrounded himself with the best of everything. The election commissioners are fixing up the tickets for the subsidy election, which comes off In the townships of French. Monroe and Jefferson on next Monday. There is not a great deal of excitement in these townships over this subsidy, but those In favor of it, and there seems to be many of them, are getting their lines drawn and hope for a victory in all of them. Nothing has been said for several days about the contention between the Geneva and Berne lines. This is the last week before the subsidy election for the Bluffton, Berne & Celina Traction compnay, which will be held next Monday. There will be considerable campaigning done on the part of the promoters of the line between now and the time of the election. While a number of people in the western and southwestern part of the county do not wish to give the subsidy, it is believed by the promoters that there will be no trouble in getting a big vote in the city.—Bluffton Banner. The city council here will probably be asked within a short time to buy anautomobile truck for the fire department. The Decatur city council is thinking of purchasing an automobile truck for the fire department there and it is thought that a truck of this kind would be a saving to the people of Bluffton. The, automobile would carry a chemical engine in front if one should be purchased. The Decatur aidermen claim that it will be a saving to the city if an automobile is purchased, as sometimes there is not a fire a month. With an automobile the feed which the horse would consume in this time is saved. —Bluffton Banar.

Miss May Radamacher will leave tomorrow morning tor South Bend, where she will remain for some time as the guest of friends and relatives. Senator Kimmel, of Noble county has a bill to make changes in the 33rd, 34th and 54th judicial circuits. At present Kosciusko county alone forms the 54th district. This bill would place Kosciusko county and Whitley county in the 54th. Lagrange and Noble would form the 33rd, which is now made up of Noble apd Whitley and this would leave Elkhart county alone to form the 34th, which is now made up of Elkhart and Lagrange. The standing joke that Indiana officeholders die but never resign has been given a rude jolt-by Drummond S Terrell, postmaster of Majenica, Huntington county. Terrell has been trying his level best since last September to get rid of his job, but he cannot. Saturday he appealed to congress to let him go. He resigned in September, but still holds on because he has been unable to induce any one in authority to name his successor. The office is of the fourth class and the salary is not attractive. The Milford Mail says- that Arthur Griffith, of Milford, while giving a demonstration of his mathematical ability in a Benton Harbor theater recently, shook the faith of the members of the House of David. These peculiar people have a settlement nearby and believe that all those who do not unite with them will be swept off the earth in 1916. They further believe that two men will have children born to them and when the children are 12 years of age they will have two and so on for a thousand years. Griffith proved that it would require a billion worlds, larger than this one, to contain their offspring, allowing a square foot to each inhabitant. Since this demonstration the representatives of the Holy Rollers of the House of David, as they are called, have been gceatly confused.
